Funeral Potatoes Recipe are a cheesy brown casserole that is the perfect warm side dish for any meal, holiday feast, or potluck. Funeral potatoes are also known as cheese potatoes.
Funeral Potatoes Recipe are an ideal side dish for large gatherings, parties, and special occasions. If you like cheesy potatoes, you might also enjoy pickled mashed potatoes or baked potatoes.
These potatoes can be made in minutes and are similar to a cheesy hash brown casserole in that they can be made ahead of time.
They are simply amazing – cheesy and perfectly seasoned! The ultimate comfort food is the potato. What has not to love in combination with onions, sour cream, and a ton of cheese? This dish is becoming a standard for many holidays. This is a traditional side dish that can complete any feast, from Thanksgiving to Easter and everything in between.
Easy Funeral Potatoes Recipe-MAKING TIPS:
Preparation: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Your Funeral Potatoes Recipe should be in a colander. Let them sit until they are thawed and drained.
Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the soup, sour cream, and butter. It was thoroughly combined. This mixture should be seasoned with salt, onion, and cheese.
Layer: Once you have added the potatoes, stir the mixture. Place in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Sprinkle crushed cornflakes on top of the butter.
Serve + bake: Bake uncovered for 40-50 minutes at 350°F.
You want to use fresh potatoes. No problem! Just peel and cut about 6-7 medium potatoes into small pieces. Put the Funeral Potatoes Recipe cubes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil and then add some salt. Then cook for one to two minutes. Drain the potatoes and let them cool to room temperature before adding the potato cubes to the cream mixture.
FUNERAL POTATO RECIPE VARIATION:
There are several methods to change this.
Toppings: While we believe crushed cornflakes work best, other options include Panko, breadcrumbs, Lays potato chips, and even Ritz crackers. Most types of crackers will work, although Ritz crackers are best in these situations.
Potatoes: Use grated potatoes; we have a brown casserole recipe that calls for them.
Slow Cooker: While we also have a favorite slow cooker cheesy potato recipe, we prefer this oven-baked variation.
